Analysis of the lateral dynamic behaviour of articulated commercial vehicles

The challenge of designing stability control functions for trucks is to guarantee robustness for all variations in truck and trailer combinations. The method proposed in this study can be used to quickly narrow down the number of truck and trailer combinations to a critical set to be evaluated with complex nonlinear simulation software or full...

Vehicle handling: Relationships between subjective and objective measures

TNO Human Factors and TNO Automotive are investigating relationships between subjective and objective measures in the area of vehicle handling. This paper presents a driving simulator study and a field experiment in which these relationships were investigated. First, in the driving simulator experiment, the characteristics of the steering system...

ACHIEVE / Handling: Second on centre handling driving experiment

Steer-by-wire innovations and demonstrator

Arguments for 'by-wire' systems include production costs, packaging and traffic safety. Innovations concern both product and development process e.g. combined virtual engineering and Hardware-in-the-loop testing. Three Steer-by-wire systems are discussed: a steering system simulator used as a driving laboratory, a side-stick system for...
